| - Hanny's is an ideal meeting spot downtown for people that don't often visit downtown. It has a lot of character, I won't dwell on the basement, we all know about the basement (OK, well if you don't know there is a coven of creepy dolls which congregate behind a fence, why? I'm not sure exactly).
Hanny's is more than the dolls, but not much more. The food is reasonably priced and it shows in the quality. That's not to say that the food isn't good but that's not the draw. The real reason to come to Hanny's is the atmosphere and the 5$ martinis.
Speaking of 5$ martinis I had an awkward exchange with a bartender here one time when I asked for a dirty martini straight up, he went on to inquire if I wanted that "on the rocks". Confused, I bantered back with him for about 5 minutes before he finally understood, it wasn't the misunderstanding that bothered me, it was the arrogance. Over the years I have come to understand that this type of hipster service is consistent at this establishment.
Regardless, I will continue to frequent Hanny's, it's centrally located, there is usually a good DJ up in the booth and the food is decently priced (they also have gluten free options).
Take the elevator or stairs up to the bathrooms on the 2nd floor. Pro Tip: The doors to all the bathrooms open inward, PUSHING is the key here.
